Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted

  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Prepare the Batter

  3. Incorporate the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.

Prepare Ramekins
  1. Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

Air Fry
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350?F (175?C).
  2. Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
Serve

  2. Invert each cake onto a plate, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
